    Ok, I didn't watch last night and I don't know when that pic up there is from, but Jesus Christ. Why didn't I appreciate this woman when I was like 15? Has she actually gotten more attractive now that she's 48 or whatever?

    They will limp along with him until next spring and fulfill the contract, mainly because they have no other new programming to replace it. The point of Leno at 10 was to save money on expensive pilots. Oops!

    If the news breaks that they have a new game show ready to premiere, that will be the end of Leno, since it's the only other kind of programming that will cost them as much or less.

    I believe the Leno Experiment has not only eliminated NBC at ten, but it has probably dragged down their nine o'clock shows and has negatively effected viewership on all networks, across the board.

    I know that I've found myself deciding not to sit down for a 9pm show, a couple of times a week because there'd be nothing coming after it, so why bother?

    I've watched it. And I cannot believe that some network asshole thought this would work AND someone else signed off on it for five nights a week.

    When the unemployment rate hits 10%, is that like the opposite for TV programmers? The get to hire 10% of the idiots they owe a favor to? #jayleno

    Here, you want ratings, do the following:
    - Ditch Leno.
    - Get HD video of cute animals. Crisp, clear, cute.
    - One hour each night of cute animal videos.

    Tada! You have any idea how many people waste time during the workday staring at this stuff? MILLIONS OF HOURS! C’mon network TV; nobody wants to see talking heads. WE WANT TO SEE CUTE ANIMALS!

    @SpyMagician: If Shit My Dad Says gets a show on the teevee, why not LOLCats? Each month we get closer to the complete integration of the old tube and the intertubes so it could be a live interactive show.

    Hmm, I may have something here. (Or this may be like one of those ideas that sounds good in the middle of the night when you turn on the light to write it down but in the morning you read: "Goats dancing down Wall Street.") #jayleno

    @SpyMagician: I hope this is a joke. The internet is shit when you put it on TV, sorry. Tons of shows have tried to take the "hey, people love it on the internet, so they must want to watch it on TV right?" approach and all those shows have failed miserably. For one, they almost always require some sort of input of opinion from the host, who boils it down to unfunny garbage (see: Tosh.0), they always look bad on TV graphically since they're rezzed up to work with the resolutions networks have to deal with now, and more important, when I'm watching a video of a kid falling off of his bike and into a lake or something like that on the internet, its funny because its like a minute long. I'm not going to sit down and watch that same piece of crap for 24 minutes.

    If any NBC exec kills leno to replace him with an internet clip show, then they should be laughed out of their career, not only for giving Jay Leno a platform to ruin the network, but for replacing Jay Leno with an even cheaper show with a smaller audience and a worse effect in dragging down the network audience as a whole. #jayleno

    Even though it would make the show even more like it was before, I think Leno would benefit from ditching a bunch of his new (unfunny) correspondents and bringing back the old, good ones. More Ross, more Kip and Kim, more Angela (remember her laugh?), more Steve Schirripa. And if she weren't dead, the best correspondent in the show's history: Marie Rudisill, The Fruitcake Lady. I legit cried when I found out she had passed. #jayleno

    Life was an excellent drama, but they cancelled it in favor of Jay's "show."

    It isn't that NBC is incapable of launching a decent drama; it's that they're incapable of recognizing and supporting the good stuff. As for Southland, I've never seen anything so insane as the way they handled that. That was stupider than the CW bringing back Seventh Heaven after it had ended.

    NBC, excepting two half-hours on Thursday, is dead to me. #jayleno

    Truly did anyone actually think this was a viable idea? When I heard about it I thought it was a joke.

    And, sorry, but I never see Leno without remembering back in the days when live dinosaurs roamed around "The Comedy Store" in L.A. and Jay did a stand up there. He apparently visited the restroom prior to coming on stage and failed to shake Mr. Happy enough to completely dry him. It was hard to focus on his enormous chin with that wet spot just above eye level. #jayleno

Has anyone noticed any significant difference between Tonight Show by Leno and Tonight by Conan? - same thing dude. Boring, safe, blah, whatever. #jayleno
